very reasonable figure, as the country is

The soil is fine sandy loan which neither
gets muddy nor dusty.
CLIMATE.
Fullerton being but eight eight miles from
the ocean, gets the sea breeze much sooner
than towns on the other side of the foothill,
thus producing a low temperature in sum-
mer, and at the same time the proximity to
the ocean auses more equal and warmer
temperatu lin winter.
Fullerton las the best soil, the best water,
the best climate, the largest and most pro-
ductive territory tributary to 1t, the best rail-
road facilities, and there Is more cash being
expended in 1t on permanent Improvements
than on any new town in Southern Cali
fOrnia.
